Preaching from Romans 8:7-8, how does the doctrine of man's inability magnify God's ability?
Welcome back to Blended! Today, we're talking about menopause. Women's health issues, from menstruation to menopause, have long been overlooked in workplaces, schools, even families. But, increasingly, those issues are coming to the fore. Women are finding their voices and speaking up about the things that impact them every single day. And finally people are paying attention. Menopause has been hitting the headlines. Many organizations are starting to look more closely at the impact of menopause in the workplace, and what it really looks like to be a more supportive, inclusive employer. But where do they start? Awareness, policies and procedures, workplace accommodations, health and wellbeing – there's a lot to consider. Our guests will be shining a light on it today. They'll be exploring what menopause is and what it can look like for women, the stigma and negative connotations attached to menopause, and how organizations can better support women in the workplace. IN THIS EPISODE: [01.15] Introductions to our Blended panelists. · Karin – CEO at NIRAKIO · Nadine – Creative Director and Founder of Mayana · Claudia – Retired Global Supply Chain Executive, DEI Champion and Community Activist [07.08] The group discuss what menopause is, the common symptoms, and what it's really like for women as they navigate this transition. “One billion women will be in menopause at this time. So it's a very lucrative opportunity, and it's also a very predatory environment.” Nadine “It's a natural stage of life that most women experience between the ages of 44 and 55. And, given that women represent 40% of the workforce today – and growing! – its impact on the workplace is a really critical topic.” Claudia · Stages of menopause (peri-menopause, post-menopause) · Psychological symptoms o Mood changes o Anxiety o Lowered confidence o Second-guessing o Feeling a loss of control o Rage o Loss of patience · Physical symptoms o Hot flashes o Night sweats o Joint pain o Weight gain o Sexual impact o Lack of sleep · Cognitive symptoms o Brian fog o Inability to concentrate · Claudia's positive experience of training, awareness and education at IBM · Understanding the impact on women in the workplace · Identifying symptoms · Encouraging women to ask for help/speak up · Link to aging · Cultural differences in symptoms · How menopause impacts women's tolerance level for things they've been socially conditioned to quietly accept · Empathy · Vulnerability · Public display of private health · Uncomfortable · Weaponization/reclaim of language “It's a stage of life that's typically experienced in the latter stages, so it identifies as aging. I identified as getting older. So did that diminish my value to the organization, did they think I could still lead innovation when, suddenly, I'm an older member of the team?” Karin “Black women are the last to get diagnosed, they're the last to get help. And that's where we're seeing these big disparities. The menopause space was predominantly white-facing, and there was not a lot of information for racialized people, so the goal for us is to have that conversation. Because when we're serving everyone, everyone benefits.” Nadine “I started making jokes that I wasn't having hot flashes – I was having power surges! But, in making those jokes, it opened the floor to discussion.” Karin “To have something so personal and health related happen, it amplified that I was female in a room full of males. Not that I tried to dress like men, or act like men – but I never really tried to call out that I was female.” Karin [36.06] The panel explore the negative connotations around menopause, the stigma of aging, and how we talk about menopause, to ourselves and to each other. · Tackling stigma · Creating awareness · Open conversations · Education · Women leaving the workplace · Feeling of diminished value and vibrancy in the workplace · Shame · Women often internalize struggle/‘suffer in silence' · Interplay with personal life · Who's responsibility is it to change the conversation/challenge the stereotypes/tackle the stigma? · ERGs/women's groups · Systemic issue · Creating community · Safe spaces · HR “I was a diversity and women's network leader for many years, and it wears you out… I would like to see more engagement with HR to help fuel some of these things to create awareness and reduce stigma. It can't all be on the women.” Claudia [50.34] The group discuss the impact of menopause on women in the workplace, and how organizations can better support women to thrive, not just survive. · Clear and inclusive policies, processes and procedures · Confidentiality · Consideration of non-binary and trans people · Sick leave/menopause-related absence · Manager training · Sensitivity · Informed conversations · Legal obligations/compliance · Identify appropriate accommodations · Access to resources · Health benefits · Employee assistance programs · Menopause champions · Peer support groups [58.04] The panel reflect on the different ways women can take control of their own health and wellbeing during menopause. · Advocacy · Try something different · Therapy · Alternative medicine · Medical referrals/recommendations · Keeping records · Taking control · Assessing the symptoms that are having the biggest impact on quality of life · Keeping a symptom diary · Proactive approach to health · Understanding triggers and managing responses · Non-judgement [01.03.58] The group sum up their thoughts from today's discussion.

2. America's Imperial Dilemma, Elite Conflict, and "Fortress America" Michael Vlahos identifies America's central problem as its inability to decide whether it is a "fully formed and mature empire" or a "Roman Republic in its latter stages," concluding it is "something of both." While constitutionally a republic, the American Empire has operated for nearly a century with imperial bureaucracies and military outposts. He explains that mature empires can "shrug off" assassinations, even using them for succession, citing instances from the 1960s. However, in a deeply divided society with "deep fissures" and "two inimically opposed" elite movements, an assassination becomes a "highly charged act of ceremonial violence" that can trigger "disorder" or even "civil war." One elite faction seeks "progressive reform," while another, smaller but more connected to the people, aims for "reform through a return to traditional virtues," reminiscent of Rome's oligarchs. These two visions are "going head-to-head," each seeking to destroy the other and undo its work. Gaius introduces the concept of "Fortress America," a vision of the US as an empire "hunkering down," securing its borders, inviting out "alien elements," and contesting powers like China. Michael Vlahosconnects this to Rome's response to barbarian invasions but warns that Washington lacks awareness of this imperial reality and America's own weakness and the urgency of the situation. Gaius contrasts Americans' apparent unfamiliarity with "political assassination as policy" with the British imperialists' understanding that "running an empire was a dirty business," noting that the British "never fell into the trap of thinking that they were trusted or loved by those they ruled."

Scripture Reading and Introduction 2 Corinthians 11:16-33 read. Paul's boasting not of the Lord, but foolishly. Details of Paul's suffering: stripes, imprisonment, shipwrecks, perils, weariness, hunger, and concern for the churches. Paul's escape from Damascus. Thankfulness for the opportunity to be present and receive what the Lord has to offer. Acknowledging uncertainty about the direction of the message but trusting in the Lord's guidance. The Song: "Sweet Things Out of Dark Places" A song has been implanted in the soul for about a month. The song's message is particularly relevant given the current trials and tribulations. The song's lyrics: Wanting to know Him better and walk closer. Willingness to suffer for a clearer vision in the valley. Sweet things and heavenly light emerging from dark places. A sweeter touch and deeper love from Him. Brokenness leading to precious words and a revelation of God's glory. The sweetness of darkness when the Father is near. Apostle Paul as an Example Paul as an example of someone in darkness who gloried in his infirmities. Dark places are common, with trials and heartaches affecting many. Comfort in knowing that darkness is temporary and light will come through Jesus Christ. Excitement to share what the Lord has revealed. Dark valleys as a recurring experience. The tendency to let challenges slow down or derail progress. Sweetness emerging from dark places. Recalling the darkness before finding Jesus Christ. Blindness and a misguided pursuit of worldly pleasures. Realization of being disliked by others due to negative behaviors. Sweetness found in a calling from God. A calling once abandoned for two years. The joy and fulfillment experienced when fulfilling that calling. Feeling God's presence and glory while serving Him. Light replacing darkness. Paul's intelligence and upbringing, yet not glorying in himself. Paul's apostleship not of man but by Jesus Christ and God. Galatians 1:1 referenced. Contrast with the replacement of Judas through casting lots. Caution against boasting in what God is doing in one's life. Gratitude for God's grace and what He has done. Boasting only in Jesus Christ and His work. Sweetness will come if one sticks to it. Paul's perilous situations and distress, yet glorying in infirmities. Glorying in Infirmities A personal anecdote about waking up to a car that wouldn't start. Initial reaction of worry and frustration. Failure to glory in infirmities. Even in darkness, God provides a way for light to shine. Paul's suffering: whippings, beatings, shipwrecks, and betrayal. Choosing to glory in infirmities and taking pleasure in knowing Jesus Christ is present. Not bragging about success. Paul preached to kings. Paul started about 20 churches. Paul did not want credit for those things. Paul wrote 13 books of the Bible. Paul did not boast about writing 13 books. Paul preached for around 30 years. Paul saw a vision of the third heaven. Paul did not boast about the vision. Inability to thank God for bad things happening. Admitting the difficulty of willingly enduring suffering. The problem of thinking one shouldn't have to deal with suffering. Paul as second only to Jesus Christ in contributions to the Christian community. Paul confronted Peter for not associating with Gentiles. Philippians 3:7-14 Philippians 3:7-14 referenced. Counting past gains as loss for Christ. Suffering the loss of all things to win Christ. Counting worldly things as dung. Seeking righteousness through faith in Christ. Knowing Him and the power of His resurrection. Fellowship of His sufferings. Pressing toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Forsaking the world. Not advocating quitting one's job but providing for oneself.

#LONDONCALLING: @JOSEPHSTERNBERG @WSJOPINION Joseph Sternberg: discusses the alarming speculation that the UK and France might require IMF bailouts due to their enormous debt piles and fiscal deficits, and a political inability to implement austerity measures. He notes the UK is exhibiting "precrisis" signs with a weakening pound and rising long-term borrowing costs, reflecting a loss of investor confidence in its economic growth. Sternberg concludes that these major economies are too large for a traditional IMF bailout, implying they must address their fiscal challenges internally to avoid a financial crisis. 1850 BANK OF ENGLAND

Fuel Her Awesome: Food Freedom, Body Love, Intuitive Eating & Nutrition Coaching
Welcome to my Summer Throwback Playlist—a handpicked collection of the most downloaded episodes of the podcast. These are listener favorites, packed with insights, laughs, and empowered eating encouragement to keep you fueled all summer long. A quick heads up: since these are throwbacks, you might hear old references to programs or events that are no longer active—but the heart of each episode still hits. You can find all the new resources and ways to connect with me in the show notes. I hope you are having the best summer! Enjoy! Let's dive in and revisit the best of the best! It isn't that it's too hard. You can trust the process. And it definitely isn't your lack of willpower. The things holding you back from food freedom may not be what you expect. In today's episode, I'm unpacking six fear-based blockers that can quietly sabotage your path to empowered eating—and how to move past them with compassion and clarity. Here's what we're covering: 1. Fast (but not good) results If I had a dollar for every person who lost weight fast and regained it (plus more)... I'd be opening a restaurant and serving you all dinner. Don't be distracted by someone else's temporary success. Real change takes balance and time. 2. Resistance to natural changes Bodies change—because life changes. You're not meant to look like you did in high school. Postpartum bellies, aging skin, and new phases are part of being human. It's time we rewrite the narrative. 3. Unrealistic expectations Are you setting goals that your current season of life can't support? Let's talk about tuning into God's vision for you—so you can focus on what really matters and feel successful doing it. 4. Not living in the present You can't connect to your body if you're constantly in your head. Biofeedback only works when you're here—not planning the next diet, not reliving last weekend's food choices. Just here. 5. Lack of gratitude We've been trained to pick apart our bodies. But when you shift your focus to what your body can do and how it's serving you, your mindset (and choices) start to change. 6. Inability to find satisfaction in food Legalizing all foods can feel scary—but it's also the gateway to freedom. True satisfaction changes your cravings, your choices, and your relationship with food for the long haul.

Contractor Success Map with Randal DeHart | Contractor Bookkeeping And Accounting Services
This Podcast Is Episode 642, And It's About How To Know If It's Time To Raise Your Rates Without Losing Clients A Practical Guide for Contractors Who Want to Stay Profitable—Without Scaring Off Business If you're like most small construction business owners, you've probably had this thought: "I'm working non-stop, but I'm still barely keeping up—should I raise my prices?" And then right after that, the fear kicks in: "What if I lose clients? What if no one can afford me anymore?" As construction bookkeeping specialists, we hear this frequently. Contractors are nervous to raise their rates because they worry it'll cost them jobs or damage their reputation. But here's the truth: Raising your rates isn't about greed—it's about survival. In this post, we'll guide you through understanding when it's time to increase your rates, how to do it without losing your best clients, and how your books can provide the data and confidence to price with clarity. Why Contractors Hesitate to Raise Rates Let's start with the everyday fears: "My clients won't pay more." "I'll lose out to cheaper competition." "What if I price myself out of the market?" These fears are common, but often based on assumptions rather than data. Low rates can hurt your business more than help it. They lead to: Burnout from overwork Poor-quality clients who expect a lot and pay late Inability to reinvest in tools, help, or marketing Projects that cost more than they bring in So let's flip the script. Instead of fearing a rate increase, let's explore how to raise with purpose—and use facts, not fear, to guide your pricing. 1. Start with Job Costing Before raising rates, you need to know one thing clearly: Are you actually making money on your jobs? Job costing is the process of tracking: Labor hours (including your own!) Material and supply costs Subcontractor fees Equipment and tool usage Permits, dump runs, gas, insurance A share of your overhead (office, truck, phone, software) Once you tally this up, compare it to what you charged. If you're seeing slim margins—or worse, negative ones—you're undercharging. Bookkeeper's Tip: Start by reviewing your last 5–10 jobs. Break them down into: Estimated vs. actual cost Hours quoted vs. hours worked Gross profit (before overhead) Net profit (after overhead) Even a simple spreadsheet can help you see which jobs are winners—and which ones need a pricing tune-up. 2. Watch for These Signs - It's Time to Raise Rates Still unsure? Here are seven signs it's time to raise your prices: 1. You're booked out for weeks (or months) This means demand is high, and your pricing may be too low. If people are lining up, a modest increase won't deter them. 2. You're working too hard for too little If you're exhausted, working weekends, and still not taking home enough, your rate is too low. Period. 3. You haven't raised your prices in over a year Material costs, fuel, insurance, and labor have all increased. If your rates haven't changed, you're likely absorbing the difference. 4. Your quality has improved Are you more skilled than when you started? Do you offer better results, smoother communication, or cleaner job sites? Then you should be charging for it. 5. You're attracting low-quality clients If you constantly deal with haggling, late payments, or poor communication, your pricing is attracting bargain hunters rather than quality clients. 6. Your tools, overhead, and team cost more Running a legit business costs money. If you're licensed, insured, and invest in quality, your rates should reflect that. 7. You're turning away work If you're saying no to jobs because you're too busy, that's a strong sign it's time to raise your prices and focus on higher-value projects. 3. How to Raise Rates Without Losing Good Clients You don't need to double your rates overnight or announce a price hike in bold letters. Here's how to do it strategically and professionally: A. Start with New Clients This is the easiest path. Quote your new price to new inquiries in the future. They won't know the old rate, so there's no resistance. B. Add Value, Not Just Cost When raising rates, remind clients of what they're getting: Better project management Faster turnaround Clearer communication Higher quality materials Insured and dependable work Frame your pricing as an investment, not just a fee. C. Offer Tiers or Packages For price-sensitive clients, offer a few levels of service: Basic (bare-bones scope) Standard (your usual full-service) Premium (extras like design, faster turnaround, etc.) This helps clients self-select based on budget without forcing you to underprice your work. D. Phase In Rate Increases If you work with repeat clients, give them a heads-up: "Due to rising material and labor costs, I'll be increasing my hourly/project rates starting [date]. I wanted to let you know in advance so we can plan accordingly." Most reasonable clients will understand, especially if you've consistently delivered value. 4. Use Pricing Psychology to Your Advantage Pricing is part math, part mindset. Here are a few tactics to make your price increases feel smoother: Avoid round numbers Instead of $1,000, say $1,175 or $3,950. It feels more calculated, not random. Anchor with options Show your higher price next to a more expensive (or less valuable) one. This frames your offer as the "just right" choice. Include a price breakdown. Show labor, materials, subs, overhead—so clients understand what goes into your rate. Be confident Clients can sense uncertainty. If you hesitate or over-explain, it creates doubt. Quote clearly and stand behind your values. 5. Track What Happens Next After you raise rates, keep an eye on: Win/loss rate (are fewer clients saying yes?) Job profitability (are you keeping more after costs?) Client satisfaction (any change in feedback or reviews?) Hours worked vs. income (are you earning more with less hustle?) Often, you'll find you're getting fewer clients, but better ones. And that's the goal: less chaos, more profit, and more control over your schedule. Final Thoughts You Deserve to Be Paid for What You're Worth You started your business to build freedom, not to be overworked and underpaid. Raising your rates isn't risky when data, systems, and experience back it. It's a sign of growth and professionalism. The right clients will respect it, and you'll finally start seeing the kind of income and balance your hard work deserves. Need Help Understanding Your Numbers Before You Raise Rates? As a construction bookkeeping specialist, we help contractors: Break down job costs Analyze profit margins Clean up financials Set pricing that actually works As we always say, Contractors like you deserve to be wealthy because you bring value to other people's lives. You don't need more jobs. You need the right jobs at the correct rate. Let's get you there.

July 15th, 2025, Court Leader's Advantage Podcast EpisodeOne of the major challenges facing state trial courts today is the disturbing lack of accurate national statistical data. Beneath the surface of our justice system lies a troubling truth: we often don't know, we can't know, what's really happening.How many cases do our courts handle? What kinds? How efficiently? Without reliable data, we are left to make educated guesses in the dark. This absence of clarity is not accidental, it is the result of a decentralized system ofjustice.Some of the results include:Lack of Uniform Court CodingWhat one court calls a “hearing,” another might call a “conference.” These differences seem small, but they add up to a patchwork of mismatched codes, formats, and definitions across jurisdictions.Limited Data Transparency and Public AccessEven when data exists, it is often locked behind arcane systems, hard to find, and harder to interpret.Hurdles with Data SharingDisconnected technologies, legacy systems, and inconsistent standards create silos of information making collaboration truly a challenge.Inability to Measure Performance and OutcomesWithout standardized metrics, we can't track how long cases take, how they're resolved, or whether justice is truly being served. It's like trying to navigate with a map that constantly changes shape. Addressing this challenge is the National Open Court Data Standards project (NODS). It is a collaborative effort led by the National Center for State Courts, the Conference of State Court Administrators, and the Joint Technology Committee.By creating shared standards for collecting, sharing, and interpreting court data, NODS shines a light in the shadows, allowing courts to operate with greater transparency, efficiency, and consistency.This month, we are looking at the National Open Court Data Standards project. We explore how this effort will transform access to court data for researchers, policymakers, the media, and the public. Today's Panel: The Honorable W.

Trump's cognitive decline was on full display when a reporter asked him a simple question about how long detainees would have to stay at the so-called Alligator Alcatraz facility in the Florida Everglades. Trump asked the reporter to repeat the question and she did.Trump then launched into a nonsensical rant that had noting to do with the question that was twice asked.

Trump's cognitive decline was on full display when a reporter asked him a simple question about how long detainees would have to stay at the so-called Alligator Alcatraz facility in the Florida Everglades. Trump asked the reporter to repeat the question and she did.Trump then launched into a nonsensical rant that had noting to do with the question that was twice asked.

Scripture References: Proverbs 3:13-18, Proverbs 4:7, Proverbs 1:22, Colossians 1:16, Colossians 2:3, Ephesians 4:17-18, Matthew 28Intro:Hey everyone, we're kicking off a new summer series in the Book of Proverbs! We'll explore wisdom's themes each week. You can also grab our summer reading plan at the connect table to devotionally read through the whole book. By summer's end, you'll have journeyed through Proverbs, seeing its practical wisdom for your daily life with God.Key Points:Proverbs is a Wisdom Book:It emphasizes the urgency of seeking wisdom. Proverbs 4:7 says, "Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom, and in all your getting get understanding."In a culture of acquiring, let's prioritize getting what truly matters – wisdom.Proverbs 3:13-18 highlights wisdom's value: "Blessed are those who find wisdom… for wisdom is more profitable than silver and yields better returns than gold… Nothing you desire compares to her." It's imperishable, worth holding onto.Proverbs Offers Practical Wisdom:This isn't just about spiritual knowledge; it's about wisdom for every corner of our lives: relationships, work, goals, resources.If our wisdom isn't relevant to most of our life, it's not biblical wisdom.The root word of Proverbs means "to be like," inviting us to compare our lives to its principles. It's a "plumb line" for daily living.Ancient Hebrew culture saw life as a seamless garment – no separation between sacred and secular, public and private. Proverbs is a "timeless portable teacher."Proverbs Defines the Wise Person:The book divides people into two simple categories: the wise and righteous or the fool and wicked. There's no middle ground.Proverbs 1:22 asks, "How long, inexperienced ones, will you love ignorance?" or "How long, you simpletons, will you love naivety?" God's Word compels us to choose a side.A wise person is humble, seeks knowledge, listens to instruction, accepts correction, controls emotions, and brings joy to others.Obstacles to Teachability:Narrow Belief of Knowledge: We can mistakenly believe learning is only spiritual. Colossians 1:16 reminds us that everything was created by Him – the sacred and the mundane. God cares about every detail of our lives, even parking spaces!Assuming Full Understanding: We often face "crises of understanding" rather than "crises of faith." Loving God isn't the end of learning; it's loving God with our minds. Truth is eternal, but knowledge is changeable (Madeline L'Engle). Don't confuse them.Inability to Unlearn: God may want to rearrange our thinking. Jeremiah 1:4-10 shows Jeremiah needing to unlearn his self-perception to embrace God's calling. What do we need to unlearn about our identity in Christ?Pride and Sin: Sin distorts our thinking. Ephesians 4:17-18 describes futility in thinking and darkened understanding outside of Christ. But as children of God, we've been brought into the light (Ephesians 5:8) and in Christ are all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge (Colossians 2:3).Conclusion:This summer, as we become more teachable and pursue wisdom, remember we're not seeking wisdom for its own sake. We're pursuing it to know the one who holds all wisdom: Jesus. When you know Him more, you'll simply want to know Him even more.Call to Action:Let's approach the table with humility, acknowledging we don't have it all figured out, but we're coming to the one who does.

When Washington state legalized marijuana back in 2012, one of the big goals was to displace the black market, bring weed out of the shadows, and take the power away from dealers and traffickers. But more than a decade later, the ILLEGAL weed industry is still thriving in Washington, and that’s taking a toll on LEGAL cannabis businesses. Meanwhile, the SYSTEM for keeping track of legally produced weed is broken. That has raised concerns about diversion into the black market, as well as lost money, product safety, and more.

It will thus be evident that far from fallen man being an object of pity because of his moral impotence, he is justly to be blamed for the course which he pursues. We do not condemn a legless man because he is unable to walk, but rightly commiserate with him. We do not censure a sightless man for not admiring the beauties of nature; rather our compassion goes out to him. But how different is the case of the natural man in connection with his firm obligations to serve and glorify his rightful Lord!
